At this point I believe Microsoft could release just about any Ultimate Extra and it will surpass the things that they have already done. To my surprise, however, they’ve actually released a game called Tinker that isn’t all that bad. It’s a simple puzzle game where you try to guide a robot from point A to point B by traversing through obstacles. Here’s the brief description that Microsoft provides for Tinker:

The game area consists of a square playing board. Move the robot to the red-and-white end tile. The board contains a variety of objects including moveable blocks, switches, transporters, cog wheels, and other devices.

With the robot you can:

Move certain objects around.

Use switches to turn certain devices on and off.

Collect cog wheels.

Destroy certain objects.

The robot can be trapped or destroyed if incorrect choices are made.

In order to play Microsoft Tinker you’ll have to be a Windows Vista Ultimate owner (obviously), but I’m sure as more people get wind of the new game someone will figure out a way to make it available for any version of Vista (and possibly XP). Here’s a quick demo of Tinker that I found on YouTube to help satisfy your curious little minds:

Now Microsoft, how about we get some awesome power-user tools for those of running Vista Ultimate! I’d say we deserve more after Vista being available for nearly two years.
